Detail Review

Pace

Pace feels very quick in-game. Acceleration is explosive, especially when using Step Overs or Heel to Heel. Creates separation easily and feels dangerous in both counters and buildup play.

(9.9/10)

Dribbling

Dribbling is absolutely elite. Joystick control feels butter smooth, touches are perfect, and agility is on another level. Turns feel instant and he can weave through defenders with ease. One of the smoothest cards in the game.

(10/10)

Shooting

Shooting is meta level. Finishing is incredibly reliable, shot power feels much better than expected, and long shots are absolute rockets. Finesse shots are ridiculous thanks to the new playstyle and are extremely difficult for goalkeepers to stop.

(10/10)

Positioning

Positioning is top class. Always finds space, makes intelligent runs, and reads attacking situations perfectly. Constantly available in dangerous areas.

(9.8/10)

Passing

Passing is excellent. Through balls, short passes, and link-up play all feel very accurate. Adds a lot to build-up play and can create chances just as easily as he scores them.

(10/10)

Physical

−

Physical is decent but not a major strength. Holds the ball better than expected, but due to his shorter height he can sometimes lose possession against stronger defenders.

(9.5/10)

Overall Rating: 9.9/10

Final Verdict

UTOTS Messi is a pure meta card and easily one of the best attackers in the game right now. Elite dribbling, insane finesse shots, top-tier shooting, incredible passing, and 5★ weak foot make him a complete attacking threat. If you’re using the nominee version, the upgrade is definitely noticeable. Easily worth exchanging for the UTOTS version.
